About This Project

An independent
accountability project

Trexit is a project of Protect American Democracy: a documented public record, and an ask that our fellow citizens vote. This page explains what it is, how the record is built, who pays for it, and the disclaimer that governs everything here.

What this is

Trexit pairs a documented public record (a sourced, tier-rated archive in three parts: false claims, corruption and self-enrichment, and abuse of official power) with a voluntary voter pledge. Signers commit to vote in the November 3, 2026 election, to bring two eligible voters with them, and to vote against any elected official, of any party, who they believe has enabled this administration's corruption and abuse of power, judged by a published, conduct-based standard they apply for themselves.

The pledge rests on a factual record. Its credibility depends on the record's credibility, which is why the sourcing standards are documented in full and open to inspection.

  • Party-blind by design. The pledge welcomes Americans of every political affiliation. It names no candidate and endorses no candidate; it applies a published, conduct-based standard that signers apply for themselves. Party-blindness describes the standard, not the funding. Contributors are published, and readers can judge the standard against the record themselves. The concern is the integrity of the office itself.
  • Sourced by default. Every claim on this site links to its sources, and to the primary document where one exists. Every correction is logged in public. The methodology is documented in detail and open to inspection.
  • Constitutional in posture. This project invokes no extra-legal action and endorses no successor. It asks only that citizens act where the Constitution says verdicts are rendered: at the ballot box.
  • Funded by readers, insulated from them. Trexit is funded by voluntary contributions from those who want this record maintained. It carries no advertising and runs no sponsorships. Trexit accepts no contributions from foreign nationals, from any candidate committee, or made in the name of another person. Every contribution from an organization is published, including from political committees. No contributor of any kind has an editorial role. No contributor reviews an entry before publication, no entry is added, altered, or withheld at a contributor's request, and every correction is logged in public so that any departure from this standard is visible to you rather than to us.

Why this project exists, in its founder's own words, is set out in the founding statement.

Why a referendum

The question on the ballot

Shall a government that lies to its people, defies its courts, and rewards its loyalists be continued, or be checked?

That question will not appear in those words on any ballot. But it is the question every ballot answers. Each House seat, each Senate seat, each statewide office on November 3 is held or sought by someone with a documented record on this administration's conduct: what they enabled, what they defended, what they excused, and what they opposed. The referendum is the sum of those individual verdicts.

"Autocracy is not defeated by persuading the autocrat.
It is defeated by outvoting the people who excuse him."

This campaign asks for no impeachment, no resignation, no intervention by any institution. Those demands ask someone else to act. The referendum asks you to act. In April 2026, Hungarian voters ended the most entrenched governing party in Europe (through a tilted map, captured media, and a saturation campaign of state disinformation) by converting exhaustion into the highest turnout since 1989. They did not out-argue the lies. They outvoted the system that depended on them. The United States holds its equivalent moment on November 3, 2026. The verdict belongs to no court, no committee, and no cabinet. It belongs to you.

How the work is done

The standards behind every entry

These are the principles the work is held to. They are published here because they are the standard against which it should be measured.

Principle 01
Open methodology, open record

The editorial methodology is published in full. The review process is documented at each stage. Corrections are logged publicly. The entries on this site are not protected from scrutiny. They are designed for it.

Principle 02
Sourced, not asserted

Every entry links to its sources: government data, court records, official transcripts, credible reporting. Characterizations are editorial opinion; the underlying facts are cited so you can check them yourself.

Principle 03
Independent expression

This is political expression by a social welfare organization. It endorses no candidate, and it does not coordinate with any campaign, candidate organization, or committee on what it publishes, which races or regions it reaches, or when anything appears. Contributions do not create affiliation and confer no editorial role. Contributors are published under the policy on the Support page.

Principle 04
Measured language always

"False" is reserved for statements contradicted by unambiguous documentary evidence. "Misleading" is used where a statement has a true element or is genuinely contested, but is materially misleading as stated. The language never runs ahead of the evidence, and it does not speculate about motive.

Principle 05
Privacy by default

Signer and contributor data is never sold. Individual signer names are not displayed publicly without explicit opt-in. Data deletion requests are honored promptly. The trust asked for runs both ways. See the Privacy Policy.

Principle 06
Mistakes documented, never erased

When something is wrong, it is corrected prominently and the correction is logged publicly. Retracted fact-checks remain accessible with clear retraction notices. The historical record of errors is not edited away.

Frequently Asked

Questions readers ask

If yours isn't here, it's welcome: contact@trexit.org.

Is Trexit nonpartisan?

Trexit is party-blind by design, which is not the same as having no point of view. It endorses no candidate, takes no position on policy, and coordinates with no campaign or committee. It asks every candidate the same question, publishes the answers with their sources, and leaves the judgment to voters. The pledge's accountability standard is based on documented conduct (repeating verified falsehoods, voting to disable lawful oversight, excusing the use of office for private gain), and it applies identically to officials of every party. Pledges are welcome from Americans of every political affiliation. Party-blindness describes the standard, not the funding. Contributors are published, and readers can judge the standard against the record themselves.

Who runs this site?

Trexit is a project of Protect American Democracy, a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization. It is funded by voluntary contributions, is not controlled by and does not coordinate with any campaign, political party, candidate, or campaign committee, and its contributors have no editorial role. For the founder's motivations and purpose, see the founding statement. Trexit can be reached at contact@trexit.org.

Who funds Trexit?

Voluntary contributions, made through ActBlue to Protect American Democracy. Trexit accepts no contributions from foreign nationals, from any candidate committee, or made in the name of another person. Every contribution from an organization is published, including from political committees. No contributor of any kind has an editorial role. Trexit carries no advertising and publishes no sponsored content.

Are contributions tax deductible?

No. Protect American Democracy is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, not a 501(c)(3) charity. Contributions to it are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

Does contributing get me any say in the record?

No. No contributor reviews an entry before publication, and no entry is added, altered, or withheld at a contributor's request. Every correction is logged in public, so any departure from that standard is visible to you rather than to us. If you contributed expecting influence over what gets published, ask for a refund instead.

What does a contribution actually pay for?

Research and verification of entries, editorial and legal review, the infrastructure that keeps the record online and fast, and distribution to reach voters before November 3, 2026.

How will my pledge be used?

Your pledge contributes to the public count shown on this site: confirmed pledges only (those who completed email confirmation, deduplicated). The aggregate count and the pledge statement may be cited publicly and to the press. Individual signer names are not displayed publicly without explicit opt-in. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.

Will the subject of the fact-checks have a chance to respond?

Corrections and responses are welcome. If you believe something is inaccurate, write to contact@trexit.org with a subject line beginning "Correction:", and include the URL, the specific factual point, and any supporting evidence. Every correction request is reviewed, and supported corrections are made and logged publicly.

Why a voter pledge rather than a petition, lawsuit, or protest?

Because a pledge is the one instrument whose success does not depend on anyone else acting. A petition asks institutions to act; a lawsuit asks courts to act; a protest expresses a verdict. An election delivers one. The pledge converts a documented record into the constitutional act that actually decides who holds power (a vote), and multiplies it through the two voters each signer brings.

Can I unsubscribe from emails?

Yes, at any time, with a single click from any email sent to you. You can unsubscribe with no effect on your pledge: your pledge remains counted regardless of whether you stay on the list.

How do I report an error in a fact-check?

Send your concern to contact@trexit.org with a subject line beginning "Correction:", and include the URL of the fact-check, the specific factual point you believe is wrong, and any evidence you can provide. Every correction request is reviewed. If your evidence supports a correction, one will be made and logged publicly. If it does not, you'll get an explanation why.
